Abstract

A computing device may include a display, an audio output device, a sensor to detect the position of the display relative to the audio output device, and a processor to receive the detected position of the display and adjust audio output from the audio output device based on the detected position of the display.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A computing device, comprising:
 a display; 
 an audio output device; 
 a sensor to detect the position of the display relative to the audio output device; and 
 a processor to receive the detected position of the display and adjust audio output from the audio output device based on the detected position of the display; 
 wherein the processor is further to adjust the audio output from the audio output device lased on what specific user is logged into the computing device such that different audio adjustment settings are associated with different users. 
 
     
     
       2. The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the processor adjusts the audio output based on a plurality of preset adjustment settings. 
     
     
       3. The computing device of  claim 2 , wherein a first preset adjustment setting of the plurality of adjustment settings is selected based on a set position of the display relative to the audio output device. 
     
     
       4. The computing device of  claim 2 , wherein the processor receives input to adjust any one of the plurality of present adjustment settings despite the position of the display. 
     
     
       5. The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the display has arranged positions comprising a vertical position, a horizontal position, and a 45-degree angle position. 
     
     
       6. The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is to adjust the audio output by adjusting one of:
 frequencies of sound emitted by the audio output device, 
 a number of frequencies of sound produced by the audio output device, 
 a range of frequencies of sound produced by the audio output device, 
 a volume of any given frequency of sound produced by the audio output device, and 
 a pitch of sound produced by the audio output device. 
 
     
     
       7. The computing device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a base; and 
 an adjustable arm on which the display is mounted, the adjustable arm extending from the base. 
 
     
     
       8. The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further to adjust the audio output from the audio output device based on a position of a user relative to a viewing surface of the display. 
     
     
       9. A computing device, comprising:
 a base; 
 an adjustable mechanical arm extending from the base; 
 a display supported on the adjustable arm; 
 an audio output device; 
 a processor communicatively coupled to the display and audio output device; and 
 a position sensor to detect the position of the display; 
 wherein the processor receives a detected position of the display and adjusts audio output from the audio output device based on the detected position of the display; 
 wherein the display has an enumerated number of positions relative to a surface supporting the base and display; and 
 wherein each of the enumerated number of positions has a corresponding audio output setting to be executed b the processor. 
 
     
     
       10. The computing device of  claim 9 , wherein the processor receives input to adjust the corresponding audio output settings. 
     
     
       11. The computing device of  claim 10 , wherein the adjusted corresponding audio output settings are saved on a data storage device for execution by the processor when the display is placed in a corresponding position. 
     
     
       12. The computing device of  claim 9 , wherein the processor adjusts the audio output from the audio output device by adjusting frequencies of sound emitted by the audio output device based on the detected position of the display. 
     
     
       13. The computing device of  claim 9 , wherein the processor is further to adjust the audio output from the audio output device based on what specific user is logged into the computing device such that different audio adjustment settings are associated with different users.
